IMDB
Hermano from Marcel Rasquin is Venezuela's submission to the 83rd Academy Awards. An interesting and well told tale of two brothers living in the barrios of Venezuela, with the chance of a better life through football. Yet, there really isn't anything new here, the story plays out like many others we've seen before.

You know, I feel like comedies are underrepresented in the Foreign Film category. Either the Academy thinks foreigners don't have fun, or the entries are picked to suit that assumption.
Then again comedies are underrepresented in the Oscars anyway :/
Sweet! I'm tired of watching only comedies anyway. I need to broaden my horizons.
